General Physics 2 Reviewer

This document provides formulas and concepts for general physics 2, including: 1) Conductors allow free flow of electrons while insulators impede electron flow. Examples of each are given. 2) Formulas are presented for potential difference (V), electric field strength (E), distance (d), and relationships between these variables. 3) SI units for key variables like potential difference, electric field strength, distance, charge, and capacitance are defined.
